Our network on the African continent
Our organisation work with a large network of non-governmental organisations Africa wide. For those that would like to volunteer anywhere on the African continent they will place in those organisations. We don't just place our volunteer in countries without assessing risks. Some countries have security challenges and others health problems that can put our volunteer well-being at risk. Among other things we conduct Out-Country briefing and In-Country Briefing for our volunteers in order to allow them to decide.
